Abstract

This disclosure relates to generating stereographic projection content. Stereographic projection content may be generated by obtaining visual information defining visual content. The visual information may be analyzed to determine one or more visual characteristics for the visual content. One or more visual characteristics may indicate a degree of matching visuals within the visual content. One or more visual criteria may be obtained. One or more visual criteria may define a minimum degree of matching visuals within the visual content for a stereographic projection transformation. One or more visual characteristics may be compared with one or more visual criteria to determine whether at least a portion of the visual content is suitable for stereographic projection transformation. Based on one or more visual characteristics satisfying one or more visual criteria, at least the portion of the visual content may be transformed using stereographic projection.

Claims (31)

1. A system for generating stereographic projection content, the system comprising:

one or more physical processors configured by machine readable instructions to:

obtain visual information defining visual content;

analyze the visual information to determine one or more visual characteristics for the visual content, the one or more visual characteristics indicating a degree of matching visuals within the visual content, the one or more visual characteristics including a first visual characteristic for the visual content;

obtain one or more visual criteria, the one or more visual criteria defining a minimum degree of matching visuals within the visual content for a stereographic projection transformation, the one or more visual criteria including a first visual criterion;

determine whether at least a portion of the visual content is suitable for the stereographic projection transformation by comparing the one or more visual characteristics with the one or more visual criteria, such comparison including a comparison of the first visual characteristic with the first visual criterion;

transform at least the portion of the visual content using the stereographic projection based on the one or more visual characteristics satisfying the one or more visual criteria.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the visual content includes one or both of an image and/or a video.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the degree of matching visuals within the visual content includes a degree of matching visuals between opposing edges of the visual content.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the degree of matching visuals between opposing edges of the visual content includes a degree of a horizontal split within the visual content.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the degree of matching visuals within the visual content includes a degree of uniformity within the visual content.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the degree of uniformity within the visual content includes a degree of uniformity within one or both of a top part and/or a bottom part of the visual content.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the degree of uniformity within the visual content further includes a degree of color difference between opposing parts of the visual content.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the degree of uniformity within the visual content further includes a degree of contrast difference between opposing parts of the visual content.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more visual criteria is obtained based on a user input.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured to effectuate presentation of at least the portion of the visual content on a graphical user interface for a user selection to transform using the stereographic projection, and the transformation of at least the portion of the visual content using the stereographic projection is further based on the user selection.

11. A method for generating stereographic projection content, the method comprising:

obtaining visual information defining visual content;

analyzing the visual information to determine one or more visual characteristics for the visual content, the one or more visual characteristics indicating a degree of matching visuals within the visual content, the one or more visual characteristics including a first visual characteristic for the visual content;

obtaining one or more visual criteria, the one or more visual criteria defining a minimum degree of matching visuals within the visual content for a stereographic projection transformation, the one or more visual criteria including a first visual criterion;

determining whether at least a portion of the visual content is suitable for the stereographic projection transformation by comparing the one or more visual characteristics with the one or more visual criteria, such comparison including a comparison of the first visual characteristic with the first visual criterion;

transforming at least the portion of the visual content using the stereographic projection based on the one or more visual characteristics satisfying the one or more visual criteria.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the visual content includes one or both of an image and/or a video.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the degree of matching visuals within the visual content includes a degree of matching visuals between opposing edges of the visual content.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the degree of matching visuals between opposing edges of the visual content includes a degree of a horizontal split within the visual content.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the degree of matching visuals within the visual content includes a degree of uniformity within the visual content.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the degree of uniformity within the visual content includes a degree of uniformity within one or both of a top part and/or a bottom part of the visual content.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the degree of uniformity within the visual content further includes a degree of color difference between opposing parts of the visual content.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the degree of uniformity within the visual content further includes a degree of contrast difference between opposing parts of the visual content.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more visual criteria is obtained based on a user input.

20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising effectuate presentation of at least the portion of the visual content on a graphical user interface of for a user selection to transform using the stereographic projection, wherein the transformation of at least the portion of the visual content using the stereographic projection is further based on the user selection.
